2:45 to 4:00PM — Elective #1
How To Recognize A Great Debater (Or Become One Yourself) — Bill Batterman
What separates the best high school policy debaters from their peers? In a new elective, students will be introduced to my Universal Theory of the Great Debater. While it won’t offer any secret shortcuts, students will be given a thought-provoking and somewhat philosophical perspective on how to be great at debate. This elective could be helpful for students of any experience level, but experienced students may find it more beneficial than beginners.
Debating Topicality Not Framework — Viveth Karthikeyan
An elective about the differences between T-USFG and Framework arguments against K affs. The focus of this lecture will be on: unpacking the impact to "procedural fairness", answering common critiques of topicality, and discussing why it is important to think of debate as a game. This elective is for advanced debaters.
Debating Politics Disadvantages — Young Kwon
This lecture is designed for intermediate-level students who want to learn about how to extend/go for politics disadvantages. It will review different types of politics disadvantage, tips on evidence comparisons, and block tricks. The lecture will also teach how to cut a politics DA and suggest some research terms that are relevant to the China topic.
2A Terrorism — Ezra Louvis
It’s great to be aff! We'll talk about the tricks of the 2A trade and how to write 2ACs that make the neg block impossible. Recommended for intermediate or advanced debaters.
From Schlag to Self — Tim Mahoney
This elective aims to examine the changing notion of fiat in contemporary debate practice. The goal is to move beyond the stale jargon of framework arguments and discuss the merits of current practice. The elective aims to be interactive and will require active participation by attendees. Students will be asked to explain why they debate and the group will then discuss how different interpretations of fiat influence the achievement of those values. It is intended for advanced students or intermediate students who are willing to take risks and be challenged.
Answering Chinese Security Kritiks — Chris Mills Rodrigo
This lecture is intended for middle to advanced level students that are interested in learning how to defend their version of US-China policy. Will be covering affirmative construction, 2ac block building, and researching tips for finding the best kritik answers.
Cross-Examination for Winners — jsharp
Cross-examination should be the best and most productive portion of the debate — unfortunately… it is not. This seminar is for all levels of experience and will cover the entire range of CX strategies and tactics, from why you should never (Ever.) say “is tag-team CX ok?” to the fabled Pit of Doom.
4:15 to 5:30PM — Elective #2
Debating The Liberal International Order — Bill Batterman
Many scholars argue that China poses a threat to the liberal international order. Others disagree. But what is the liberal international order and where did it come from? And why is this such a big part of the contemporary debate about U.S. foreign policy toward China? In this elective, students will learn to debate this part of the topic with greater sophistication and an appreciation for the history of global economic and political governance. Don’t just read cards from authors like Ikenberry, Brooks & Wohlforth, and Drezner; understand them. This elective could be helpful for students of any experience level.
The Science of Winning — Maggie Berthiaume
Athletes use science to help them compete — debaters should too. Students will learn how research into competition will make them better debaters, including how to prepare, persuade, control stress and anxiety, and play to win. Recommended for debaters at any level.
Quid Pro Quo Plans & CPs — Seth Gannon
"Engagement" arguably should carry conditions, arguably shouldn't, and likely comes in both flavors. What does this mean for plans & counterplans? What unique strategies are possible on an "engagement" topic? What does it mean to permute these approaches, and can the neg make them compete against each other? How do we most effectively use proposals for conditional and unconditional engagement to win debates? 40% strategy, 40% debate theory, and 20% insistent rants that the strictest among you may find extraneous. This is recommended for intermediate or advanced debaters.
Debating Impact Turns — Jeremy Hammond
This will be a discussion of how and why you should impact turn in debates. This will include tips and tricks for doing it effectively. This is suitable for beginning and intermediate debaters.
International Fiat and China — Viveth Karthikeyan
An elective about the theory that is used to justify and answer the international actor CP, as well as some discussion about likely international counterplans on the China topic. This elective is designed for intermediate to advanced students.
Team & Partnership Dynamics — Peyton Lee
Debaters & coaches often don't discuss the relationships that shape our debate experience, and dramatically influence our debate success - What's your team dynamic? If you're a senior, are you using your leadership role effectively on your squad? If you're a freshman, how do you contribute effectively? Are you and your partner building a strong relationship, to help maximize your chances of winning (and even enjoying) debate tournaments? This lecture will focus on how to build productive partnership & team dynamics that help contribute to your debate success. This elective is recommended for debaters of all levels.
Debating Framework Not Topicality — Anthony Ogbuli
This elective is about defeating kritikal teams with framework arguments only. The different types of framework arguments you should be making against Identity Affirmatives vs. Postmodern Kritikal Affirmatives. It includes understanding Framework as a Counterplan-Disadvantage Debate and how to establish and keep ethos in framework debates. This elective is designed for intermediate to advanced students.

There are several common tricks that K teams use, and we will talk about those and how to effectively spot and answer them. This elective is open to all debaters, but is recommended for debaters who have some familiarity with critique arguments.

Go beyond your blocks! We'll talk about writing and going for innovative perms against a wide variety of common and totally strange CPs. Recommended for advanced intermediate and advanced debaters.
Going for the Capitalism Kritik against Kritikal Affirmatives — Chris Mills Rodrigo
The cap k is an invaluable tool for teams debating against kritikal affs, especially when topicality is not an option, because of its broad literature base of marxists that are mad at everything and its compatibility with strategies that defend the state. In this lecture I'd like to cover how to research and deploy the cap k in debate. This lecture is for intermediate to advanced level students.
Understanding the Chinese Economy (Beginner) — Tim Mahoney
This elective is about the current state, and makeup of the Chinese economy, the long-term problems with their continued growth, as well as the causes of the recent slowdown.

Language, Discourse, Representation: Introduction to Kritiks and Kritiking — jsharp
Words are weapons. This seminar will introduce the foundations of kritiking in policy debate by exploring the ways that language and representations are used to support and advance specific discourses - and we will explain what those last 11 words mean in a way that makes sense. This is not exactly Kritik 101, but it will get you a lot of the way there. Recommended for beginning and/or intermediate debaters but definitely useful for all.

2:45 to 4:00PM — Elective #1
How To Recognize A Great Debater (Or Become One Yourself) — Bill Batterman
What separates the best high school policy debaters from their peers? In a new elective, students will be introduced to my Universal Theory of the Great Debater. While it won’t offer any secret shortcuts, students will be given a thought-provoking and somewhat philosophical perspective on how to be great at debate. This elective could be helpful for students of any experience level, but experienced students may find it more beneficial than beginners.
Debating Topicality Not Framework — Viveth Karthikeyan
An elective about the differences between T-USFG and Framework arguments against K affs. The focus of this lecture will be on: unpacking the impact to "procedural fairness", answering common critiques of topicality, and discussing why it is important to think of debate as a game. This elective is for advanced debaters.
Debating Politics Disadvantages — Young Kwon
This lecture is designed for intermediate-level students who want to learn about how to extend/go for politics disadvantages. It will review different types of politics disadvantage, tips on evidence comparisons, and block tricks. The lecture will also teach how to cut a politics DA and suggest some research terms that are relevant to the China topic.
2A Terrorism — Ezra Louvis
It’s great to be aff! We'll talk about the tricks of the 2A trade and how to write 2ACs that make the neg block impossible. Recommended for intermediate or advanced debaters.
From Schlag to Self — Tim Mahoney
This elective aims to examine the changing notion of fiat in contemporary debate practice. The goal is to move beyond the stale jargon of framework arguments and discuss the merits of current practice. The elective aims to be interactive and will require active participation by attendees. Students will be asked to explain why they debate and the group will then discuss how different interpretations of fiat influence the achievement of those values. It is intended for advanced students or intermediate students who are willing to take risks and be challenged.
Answering Chinese Security Kritiks — Chris Mills Rodrigo
This lecture is intended for middle to advanced level students that are interested in learning how to defend their version of US-China policy. Will be covering affirmative construction, 2ac block building, and researching tips for finding the best kritik answers.
Cross-Examination for Winners — jsharp
Cross-examination should be the best and most productive portion of the debate — unfortunately… it is not. This seminar is for all levels of experience and will cover the entire range of CX strategies and tactics, from why you should never (Ever.) say “is tag-team CX ok?” to the fabled Pit of Doom.
4:15 to 5:30PM — Elective #2
Debating The Liberal International Order — Bill Batterman
Many scholars argue that China poses a threat to the liberal international order. Others disagree. But what is the liberal international order and where did it come from? And why is this such a big part of the contemporary debate about U.S. foreign policy toward China? In this elective, students will learn to debate this part of the topic with greater sophistication and an appreciation for the history of global economic and political governance. Don’t just read cards from authors like Ikenberry, Brooks & Wohlforth, and Drezner; understand them. This elective could be helpful for students of any experience level.
The Science of Winning — Maggie Berthiaume
Athletes use science to help them compete — debaters should too. Students will learn how research into competition will make them better debaters, including how to prepare, persuade, control stress and anxiety, and play to win. Recommended for debaters at any level.
Quid Pro Quo Plans & CPs — Seth Gannon
"Engagement" arguably should carry conditions, arguably shouldn't, and likely comes in both flavors. What does this mean for plans & counterplans? What unique strategies are possible on an "engagement" topic? What does it mean to permute these approaches, and can the neg make them compete against each other? How do we most effectively use proposals for conditional and unconditional engagement to win debates? 40% strategy, 40% debate theory, and 20% insistent rants that the strictest among you may find extraneous. This is recommended for intermediate or advanced debaters.
Debating Impact Turns — Jeremy Hammond
This will be a discussion of how and why you should impact turn in debates. This will include tips and tricks for doing it effectively. This is suitable for beginning and intermediate debaters.
International Fiat and China — Viveth Karthikeyan
An elective about the theory that is used to justify and answer the international actor CP, as well as some discussion about likely international counterplans on the China topic. This elective is designed for intermediate to advanced students.
Team & Partnership Dynamics — Peyton Lee
Debaters & coaches often don't discuss the relationships that shape our debate experience, and dramatically influence our debate success - What's your team dynamic? If you're a senior, are you using your leadership role effectively on your squad? If you're a freshman, how do you contribute effectively? Are you and your partner building a strong relationship, to help maximize your chances of winning (and even enjoying) debate tournaments? This lecture will focus on how to build productive partnership & team dynamics that help contribute to your debate success. This elective is recommended for debaters of all levels.
Debating Framework Not Topicality — Anthony Ogbuli
This elective is about defeating kritikal teams with framework arguments only. The different types of framework arguments you should be making against Identity Affirmatives vs. Postmodern Kritikal Affirmatives. It includes understanding Framework as a Counterplan-Disadvantage Debate and how to establish and keep ethos in framework debates. This elective is designed for intermediate to advanced students.

Answering Postmodern Criticisms — Luisa Cusick
In this elective, we will talk about how post modernism is applied in policy debate, how to answer any flavor of postmodern arguments, and how to deal with a one-off K that is difficult to identity as of the 1nc. There are several common tricks that K teams use, and we will talk about those and how to effectively spot and answer them. This elective is open to all debaters, but is recommended for debaters who have some familiarity with critique arguments.
The Art of Persuasion — Viveth Karthikeyan
The elective will cover what makes the difference between a great speech and a good speech through the application of psych studies and other scientific research on human communication that can be applied to debate. This elective is recommended for students at any level.
Advanced Permutation Debating — Ezra Louvis
Go beyond your blocks! We'll talk about writing and going for innovative perms against a wide variety of common and totally strange CPs. Recommended for advanced intermediate and advanced debaters.
Going for the Capitalism Kritik against Kritikal Affirmatives — Chris Mills Rodrigo
The cap k is an invaluable tool for teams debating against kritikal affs, especially when topicality is not an option, because of its broad literature base of marxists that are mad at everything and its compatibility with strategies that defend the state. In this lecture I'd like to cover how to research and deploy the cap k in debate. This lecture is for intermediate to advanced level students.
Understanding the Chinese Economy (Beginner) — Tim Mahoney
This elective is about the current state, and makeup of the Chinese economy, the long-term problems with their continued growth, as well as the causes of the recent slowdown. The elective connects these economic events to the rest of the global economy. This elective is recommended for less experienced students or students who don’t know anything about economics.
Understanding the Chinese Economy (Advanced) — Anthony Ogbuli
This elective is about the current state, and makeup of the Chinese economy, the long-term problems with their continued growth, as well as the causes of the recent slowdown. The elective connects these economic events to the rest of the global economy. This elective is recommended for advanced students or those who are quite familiar with economic principles.
Language, Discourse, Representation: Introduction to Kritiks and Kritiking — jsharp
Words are weapons. This seminar will introduce the foundations of kritiking in policy debate by exploring the ways that language and representations are used to support and advance specific discourses - and we will explain what those last 11 words mean in a way that makes sense. This is not exactly Kritik 101, but it will get you a lot of the way there. Recommended for beginning and/or intermediate debaters but definitely useful for all.
